Green capsicum/sweet bell pepper stirfry

I have been playing around with flavours and was very happy with the way this one turned out. Green capsicum/bell pepper is often overlooked for the more popular red variety but I love its earthy flavour and it married perfectly with this unconventional spice combination. 

GREEN CAPSICUM STIRFRY
4 Brazil nuts
Small-medium white onion
1 medium garlic clove
1 Tsp Coconut oil, virgin & cold-pressed
1/2 Tsp ground turmeric
1/2 Tsp sweet paprika (not hot or smoked)
1/4 Tsp ground cinnamon
Medium green capsicum/bell pepper
1 Medium carrot
2 White button mushrooms

1. Roughly chop Brazil nuts. Fry in medium frypan over medium heat for a few minutes until fragrant. Remove and set aside
2. Peel, trim and slice onion and garlic
3. Heat oil over medium heat until melted. Add spices, onion and garlic and fry, stirring occasionally
4. Trim and chop bell pepper/capsicum. Peel, trim and slice carrot and mushrooms.
5. Once onion is soft, add the rest of the vegetables and stir fry until mushrooms are soft
6. Remove from heat, tip onto a plate and sprinkle with toasted Brazil nuts

Enjoy ❤️

Basil sauce

I am often asked for sauce and dressing recipes so this sauce, essentially a much thinner version of pesto, is for those able to tolerate olive oil.

BASIL SAUCE
10 fresh basil leaves
1/8 C macadamias
2 Tbsp Extra virgin olive oil

1. Put all ingredients into a small spice grinder and grind until combined. Alternatively, pound ingredients together with a mortar and pestle. 

Enjoy on salad, vegetables, fish or meat ❤️
